Steve was born in Scotland, UK, and studied art in Glasgow. After emigrating to the United States, he worked as a jazz percussionist and studied floral design with sculptor-florist-philosopher, Dries Alberts, from the Netherlands. Steve stood on panels at several international floral competitions and continued his floral studies at the Botanical Gardens in New York.
This exploration became a window to the study of composition, space, line, color, and harmony. Gradually it led him to a deeper search and understanding of 2- and 3-dimensional works with new mediums and materials. His work extends the human spirit in a more concrete sensibility, while progressing in a timeless vision, tapping into his personal history and the history of past civilizations. In recent years he studied at the Arts Student League, NY.
This is Mr. Reid’s third exhibit in Vero Beach since moving to Vero Beach in 2019.
